Lord Howe island. A must visit island in Australia

Hello Lord Howe Island! I spent the past 7 days in this magnificent island 700Km away from the Australian mainland in complete awe. The island is a small gem where only 400 tourists a day are allowed in addition to the 350 people that live on the island permanently (or seasonal workers). That's to maintain the island, the animals and the vegetation in the most natural way possible. The island is a volcanic formation that created a wonderful mix of hills, little mountains, and a lagoon full of coral and fish 🐠. There is not mobile connection on the island, and I really loved being away from screens for a full week. I stayed at the wonderful Pinetrees Lodge that hosts people visiting the island since 1848. A magical place where everyone is incredibly nice and friendly. Thanks to them I also joined the Seven Peaks Walk and hiked the seven hills/little mountains on the island for 5 days. Extraordinary experience! Unfortunately, there is nothing I can write or show with pictures that can remotely describe the beauty of the island and the wonderful experience of hiking the seven peaks and snorkelling in the lagoon. It is just magical. Something I'll never forget. I can only say that despite many travels around the world, I lived one of the best experiences just 2 hours away from Sydney! I love love love love Lord Howe. If you'll ever be in doubt whether you want to visit or not, just go! You won't regret it 😍 Go Lord Howe!
